As of today, June 9, creating new Docs.com accounts is no longer supported. Those with existing accounts can still view, edit, publish, download, and delete their existing content. As of August 1, publishing and editing content on Docs.com will no longer be supported.

After December 15, Docs.com will no longer be available. After May 15, 2018, any links to Docs.com content users previously shared and that were automatically redirected to transferred content on OneDrive will stop working.

Microsoft is advocating that those who want to publish their Word, PowerPoint, and PDF content use SlideShare.

"For custom sharing, OneDrive offers additional tools, permission settings and security to help share and protect your data and content," said Microsoft in its note.
